Hey guys, i know this has been mentioned on this site awhile back but i couldnt find the info i needed/wnted so i figured id ask. Basically if you dont know what it is you probably cant help me, but if you do i would love some info. They are opening 2 snowflex parks here in Australia (Victoria to be specific) and i wanted to know if it
a) damages your board (base or edges)
b) is hard to ride
c) If you spill how bad is it compared to snow
d) If Magne Traction makes it harder to turn on it.

I tried it last summer in Virginia. I HATED it. It doesn't have the same feeling of happiness as snow does. When you fall it hurts and it also cuts you up. The ground is very sharp. It was about 85 degrees and I heard from other people that boards get damaged on snowflex when its that hot (I had a rental). It is a lot harder to turn than real snow. Forget about tshirts you will tear up your arms. I lasted an hour...never again

yeah, its a quality vid, really shows how shabby the UK dryslopes are, but also what can be accomplished on them. The last place they go to (halifax) is where jamie nicholls learnt to ride (probably the best UK rider around today..)
